The Hope College chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha has received a $1,425 grant from the national organization to support it's ongoing efforts to recruit, involve, and educate present and future political science students. The grant, authored by students Kelli Carrier and Christopher Sikkema under the guidance of Professor Jeff Polet, will allow the chapter to establish a program to educate high school students about careers in political science, expand membership in Hope's chapter of PSA, and host a panel discussion - "Bound in a Common Life: Hope's Election Roundtable" - which will feature professors and students taking on the important issues including environmental and energy policy, healthcare policy, and national security, all from a nonpartisan viewpoint.
